I was born in the late 90s, but I definitely consider myself to be a 2000s kid. These are a few things I think of when I think back on the 2000s and my childhood, and I hope they're relatable to you too and put a nostalgic smile on your face!

1. You Were Obsessed With Hilary Duff

She starred in one of your favorite TV shows and so many of your favorite movies: "Lizzie McGuire", "A Cinderella Story", "Cheaper by the Dozen", "Cadet Kelly", "Material Girls", and many more. You also owned all of her CDs and still know every word to "Come Clean" and "So Yesterday". What a queen.

2. Limited Too (And Eventually Justice) Was Your Go-To Store

It was your one-stop shop for all of your bathing suits, graphic tees, and jewelry.

3. Floam Fantasized You

The science behind it didn't make sense to you, but those commercials worked, and you wanted some. Bad.

4. You Owned Every Mary Kate And Ashley Movie

From "It Takes Two" to "New York Minute," these sisters had you hooked.

5. Your Favorite Books Were Amelia Bedelia, Junie B. Jones, Or Magic Tree House

Your love for reading started with these classic pieces of literature.

6. You Asked For A New American Girl Doll Every Birthday/Christmas

You also had to have the accessories such as the bed, puppy, and plenty of outfits. I mean...your dolls only deserved the best.

7. You Were Jealous Of Everyone Who Had A Razr

You definitely tried to convince your parents that you needed one.

8. Troy And Gabriella Were Your First #RelationshipGoals

HSM had you way too excited for high school.

9. Zoey 101 Made You Want A Jet X

You wanted a pink one, just like Zoey!

10. Disney Channel Crossovers Were Basically Your Favorite Thing Ever

Sweet niblets! No running in my lobby, ya nasty!

11. You Spent Your Afternoons Playing Online With Your Webkinz

Webkinz was so much better than Club Penguin. Don't fight me on this.

12. You Begged Your Parents For Tickets To The Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best Of Both Worlds Tour

Miley Cyrus was at her prime as Hannah. The Jonas Brothers (aka the dreamiest boys in all of the land) were the opening act. You couldn't have dreamed of anything better. You tried to get tickets, but the show sold out almost instantly, and you had to settle for watching it on TV. If you're anything like me, you're still a little salty about it.

13. On That Note, You And Your Friends Each Had A Favorite Jonas Brother

Joe was obviously the best.

14. You Eventually Traded In Your Gameboy For A Nintendo DS

You definitely used PictoChat to message your friends that were in the same room as you.

Thank you for the memories, 2000s!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
